W3R2 in the new orange shoes!

Ok so if you had asked me yesterday morning if I would ever buy a pair of orange shoes šŸ‘Ÿ it probably wouldnā€™t have gone down terribly well. Especially when these shoes are for the sole purpose of running. Well by 2pm yesterday I had done just that! I have the sturdiest most motion restricting shoes available and they are neon orange. Oh yes NEON. I canā€™t even. The cost of protecting my knees is high in the crimes against fashion.

Well any way I went for my first run in the monstrosities today and by heck did the run feel different. Harder maybe? Iā€™m not sure if was the bulletproof insoles or that I just donā€™t seem to like run 2 of any given week. I certainly felt like my knees felt different probably because they couldnā€™t flop the way they want to. Currently no knee pain though so yay!! Did stretches and iced both for 15 mins after as a precaution.

Also I had a thing. Duck and were having a rest day after w3r1 and having a normal conversation while doing the dishes and I did something that made him look at me with such shock and horror and it had floored too. I donā€™t know what came over me but the words ā€œI fancy going for a little runā€ fell out of my mouth. In that moment I think we both started to question who I was.

Next up w3r3 on Monday.

Great job. Donā€™t forget to wear sunglasses when lacing those shoes up.
